Ok.. Example - Some believer says, "I went to the doctor, who checked me 
out, and told me I have X problem. However, since I don't believe in 
modern medicine, I am going to reject what the doctor recommended I take 
for it, and pray instead." You can find myriad such examples, where 
someone applies logic, or even science, to figuring something out, then 
turns right around, when attempting to apply the result, and rejecting 
the very thing they just used to get there. ID is another good example. 
Rejections of ***every single conclusion*** reached by performing the 
science, yet a demand and insistence that they need science to prove 
their own interpretations right, which the laughable result that nothing 
they present ever resembles either real science, valid conclusions, or 
even and understanding of how science works at all.
